The Serious Model Railroader
Model Railroading has been a specialty of Dibble’s Hobbies for over 50 years! Many years ago (in the 1950’s and the 60’s), we were one of the largest Lionel O-Gauge Dealers in the Southwest U.S., but alas those times are past. HO Scale trains are the most popular size now, and we have a good selection of them all year round. N Scale is also well represented in our inventory, while the other Gauges (Marklin HO, O, G, and Z) are more limited in selection, based on availability and time of year. We tend to select better-quality items for inventory, especially locomotives, as we believe it is better for you to have an item that will reliably run for many years, then one that will fail after 2 months. Here is a synopsis of the kinds of Trains we usually have on hand:
